'''Gene''': ''Hmmmmmmm.'' ''(sniffs the sash)''|''[[Outlaw Star]]''}}

 

* Played straight in an episode of ''[[Shasta McNasty]]''.

* [[Sherlock]] (in Buckingham Palace, wearing only a sheet) refuses to take a case and starts striding out of the room. Mycroft Holmes steps on his sheet.

"I'll let you." }}

** Played with in "A Scandal in Belgravia," where Irene Adler strips nude to cancel out Sherlock deduction powers, a sort of mental [[Full-Frontal Assault]].

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* Played with in ''[[Girl Genius]]''. The [[The Nudifier|clothing disintegration]] was entirely accidental, but Zeetha was unfazed because, despite a misleading segue, the character was wearing disintegration-proof undergarments [[Crazy Prepared|for just such an occasion]], implied to happen often in this area.

** Not that she'd be fazed if it had worked. [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050523 Modesty isn't exactly one of her weaknesses].

* Subverted in ''[[Charby the Vampirate]]'', during the [[Web Comics/Awesome|fight]] between Zerlocke's sire and bunny!Mye.

* A justified example is given in an early chapter of ''[[Flipside]]''. Maytag's confidence is tied to her jester outfit, so having it [[The Nudifier|destroyed by Voulger's sword]] leaves her unable to fight back.

* ''[[Sinfest]]'' played it backwards [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=1599 in Ninja Theatre].

 

 

* Subverted in ''[[Chaos Fighters]] II-Cyberion Strike''. {{spoiler|Etliz}} was suffering from [[Clothing Damage]] when {{spoiler|Etlisk}} used a pyro attack on her, but the final blow that defeated her is {{spoiler|a hydro attack on her which put out the flames just in time.}}

* Inverted at the end of the [[Homestar Runner|''Cheat Commandos Adventures'']] episode played right before the music video "An Important Rap Song" by [[Token Human|Crack Stuntman]] where the Blue Laser Commander's evil plan for that episode for some reason involved him taking off his pants in public. He is foiled by the Cheat Commandos who force him to put his pants back on while in the middle of his evil plan.
